No exp. re: std vs UL, but as others have already said.... RH tires seem in a league of their own. I'm sure to regret even saying this, but I haven't had a flat riding the bikes I have with RH tires, I'm guessing about 3k miles, about 20% gravel, the rest just generally crappy small-town-US rural roads. I've got Grand Bois Hetres on my main ride now- they were on sale and I wanted to try a cheaper alternative to RH, but the RH 35c tires on another bike feel nicer, so when I wear the Hetres out I'll be getting some 42c RH for that bike.
